I installed a new dryer with a Site glass, added the oil per the manual, and attempted to recharge again. Still same results, I think I may take the top cover off the compressor and inspect for damage?

Got the transmission going back together after a strip down and complete rebuild. Looking at some videos and threads, it seems the countershaft rear bearing is usually what fails. Fluid came out horrible, and Seemed like transmission was noisy, that prompted the rebuild. Max spec on diameter for...

So I finally got the trany out this morning for my cruiser. Upon pulling I found the disc was worn well down to the rivets, but the bigger catch is that the rear head gasket is leaking oil into the bell housing. I have to get the flywheel machined and order some other parts, so I'm not in a rush...
